You know when the kettle takes 10 minutes to boil, or everyone is using the stove or you just CANNOT get the flipping oven to turn on. Fear not backpackers. Here at Hostelculture.com we have discovered that the microwave possess so much culinary capability, from Nutella cakes to breakfast burritos, chilli con carne to cheesecake, yep it's all pretty delicious, and super quick! Which means when whether you've come in from that 9 hour bus journey, hungry after that walking tour or generally just in the mood to stuff your face (which is sometimes necessary) we got all kinds of simple and quick dishes that you can whip up in your hostel's kitchen!
